Anna to launch Vyawastha Parivarthan rally today
Patna: Social activist Anna Hazare is all set to launch country-wide ‘Vyawastha Parivartan’ (change in system) programme from Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on Wednesday. He will also address a “Jantranta rally”.
Unhappy over delay in the Parliament passing the Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare on Tuesday accused the Congress-led UPA government of cheating him and people.
“The central government has been cheating us over the issue (passing the Lokpal Bill),” Hazare said.
In reference to United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s letter to him in which she promised that the Lokpal Bill will be passed in coming session of the Parliament, Hazare said that there was nothing new in the letter.
“I have been assured through letters for last two years that Lokpal Bill will be passed soon but it is yet to pass,” he said.
Hazare claimed that the government had no intention of ending corruption. “The government’s intention is not clear on this issue,” he said.
According to IAC members, hundreds of students, women and old people have purchased the caps in bulk to distribute them. This would be the first mass anti-corruption rally of the Gandhian after splitting from Arvind Kejriwal.
